History
Howrah to Amta Narrow gauge track was built in 1897 in British India. This route was the part of the Martin's Light Railways which was closed in 1971.[3] Howrah–Amta new Broad Gauge line, including the Bargachia-Champadanga branch line was re constructed and opened in 2002–2004.[4][5]
gollark: There are mesh networks in a few places, but I don't think they've gotten massively wide adoption because the average consumer doesn't really care (and they still need to interact with the regular internet, which is hard and beelike).
gollark: Phones spend tons of battery power on communicating with faraway towers when they could also practically relay data via nearby devices on lower power for non-real-time data.
gollark: Anyway, as much as I somewhat disapprove of ☭ in general, the current hierarchical structure of consumer internet connectivity is ridiculous and inefficient and would probably have been replaced if it wasn't for the hardproblemness of good mesh networking.
gollark: `nc -l 5000` or something on one device, `nc [its IP] 5000` on the other I think?
gollark: Or ADB.
